I slaved over these homemade crepes all day.
Just kidding! My secret ingredient? Prepackaged crepes, which taste just as good, if not better, than homemade.
I have a fantastic recipe for you today. But first, behold the 50 calorie giant cookie...
Giant YUM!
Best of all, with the help of your toaster oven, these mega-cookies crisp up in less than ONE minute! Prepackaged crepes, where have you been all my life?

Ham and Cheese Crepes
For something so simple, don't these look so fancy?
Giant YUM!
And only 1 measly gram of fat. Can you believe it?

Of course, you can also devour these Frieda's French Style Crepes (or other prepackaged crepes) as they are intended, with a fruit or mascarpone filling. It couldn't be easier to fancy up a crepe.
Filling them with chocolate chips and mini marshmallows before their party on the stove or in the toaster oven gives you smores crepes. Blueberries and whipped cream (skip the toaster oven!) is also yummy.

But have you ever thought to make a savory crepe? Now my all-time favorite sandwich, Hot Ham & Cheese, is also a delicious crepe.
Broccoli and Cheese for Mees, Please!
Ham and Cheese Crepes Recipe
Serves 4
- 4 Frieda's French Style Crepes* (available in the produce department at most grocery stores
- 8 Slices of Ham (lunchmeat - not thick slices leftover from Thanksgiving)
- 4 Slices of Cheddar or 1 C Shredded Cheddar
- Spicy Brown Mustard (on the side for dipping - optional)
- Prepare each crepe by layering 2 slices of ham topped with 1 slice of cheddar (or 1/4 C shredded cheese) on each crepe. Go close to, but not touching or over, the edge of the crepes.
- Roll each crepe and microwave until the cheese is melted, approximately 30 seconds. (Depending on your microwave, you may need to add time.)
